Chinese Authorities Misled Family of Uyghur Bus Driver
Chinese authorities deceived the family of Uyghur bus driver Yasinjan Toxti by falsely claiming his death in custody was due to a traffic accident. Investigations uncovered the truth that he actually died in a “re-education camp” under suspicion of “religious radicalism” amidst severe repression.
Inconsistencies Uncovered in Authorities’ Story
Authorities had informed Yasinjan’s family that he perished in a car accident, but his sister Reyhangul raised doubts as to how someone in “re-education” could die in such a manner. In 2018, during the peak of China’s Uyghur internment campaign, over 1.8 million Uyghurs were detained under the guise of vocational training.
Suspicion and Tragic Ending
Yasinjan’s detention stemmed from suspicions of “religious radicalism” after multiple instances of being held for religious activities. Despite authorities’ claims of a traffic accident, it was revealed through investigations that Yasinjan’s demise occurred in a “re-education camp” following his latest detention. The tragic story showcases the lengths to which Chinese authorities went to cover up the real cause of his death.
